School Library Media Sites

All library media programs need to have certain resources available to their faculty and students. These are the items I feel are necessary components.

For Students

Acceptable Use Policy- Have the school district acceptable use policy posted for students to review when accessing the computer.

General Library Information- This area would contain library hours, checkout procedures, etc.

Examples of Citations- An example of how to cite the most common resources found in your school library and a link to outside sites that would cover the other types of resources.

Research Methods- Give the students a framework for choosing a research topic, narrowing their search, and compiling their research.

Search Engines- Provide links to student friendly search engines.

Online Databases- This area would contain links to PA Power Library and other subscription databases.

Book Recommendations- Have a list of students and their favorite books available to promote library use.

Curriculum Area- All of the different subject areas would have links to topics contained in their curriculum.

For Faculty

Links to curriculum pages- Have links available to lesson plans, clip-art, and more.

Calendar for Library Use- This calendar would be available for all staff to access. That way everyone knows whether the library is available.

List of A/V Resources- Have a list of all equipment available for staff use.
